Favorite Chef is not only an exciting online culinary competition, but it also makes a big impact. Since 2023, over $9.5 million has been granted through Colossal\u2019s charity grantmaking partner, DTCare, to the James Beard Foundation. In this annual fundraising campaign, the public casts online votes to crown one cook as the champion to win $25,000, appear in Taste Recipes, and cook with the legend Carla Hall. Chef Karen Jenkins of Virginia took the 2023 crown (she returns in 2025 as co-host), and chef Keyana Jadali came out on top in 2024. So yes, Favorite Chef is proven to be a legitimate and impactful competition.\r\n<h3>How do Colossal competitions work?<\/h3>\r\nColossal partners with a variety of brands, publications, influencers, and charities to develop amazing prize packages for their competitions. Interested people sign up, and Colossal vets them to make sure they are real humans and good candidates for the competition. People vote for their favorite, and the competitor with the most votes in the final round wins!\r\n<h3>Is my donation tax-deductible?<\/h3>\r\nYes! All donations made through the Colossal platform go to DTCare, a U.S. 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public charity. DTCare has partnered with Colossal to make giving internationally and domestically safe, easy, and effective for U.S. donors by raising charitable donations from members of the public to fund monetary grants to other charitable organizations.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Favorite Chef 2025 Turns Up the
